About the Founder
I’m really passionate about this Internet marketing thing. And not in an annoying, gonna-make-you-rich-overnight kind of way. I’m also a total egghead. As such, I find great pleasure (and sometimes excruciating pain) in providing my clients with up to the minute yet PRACTICAL and RELEVANT advice, insight and strategic assistance with their online marketing activities.
It’s a jungle out there on the world wide web. Fun for me. Maybe not so fun for you. It’s downright intimidating for some. For others it can feel like a necessary evil of keeping up with the Joneses. And for others still, the Internet holds promise and possibility, yet seems too darned overwhelming and complicated to really DO anything meaningful with.
If there is one thing I love more than learning, it’s questions. I discovered the importance of asking questions back in university, and I still believe in the power of a thoughtful question. For it’s in the asking that we really learn who we are, why we are doing what we’re doing, and if we should rethink or even completely change course.
Most people are so busy looking for the right answer–for the perfect ending, really–that they forget the whole point of the journey. There are no “right” answers. (Unless you’re a brain surgeon, and I bet even brain surgeons deal with a lot of grey areas, er, I mean, matter.) And even if there were a Book of Right Answers out there somewhere, it would probably be a yawn.
It’s the “right” questions that I’m interested in. And you should be too.
If and when you contact us for assistance with the marketing of your business online, we won’t make any promises about rankings or wealth or making you famous or anything else “they” have told you us Internet marketers can do.
But we will ask you questions. Lots of them. And not for sheer entertainment either (though it’s all pretty fascinating). We’ll ask you questions to make you think about WHY you want this or that for your website. We’ll play Devil’s Advocate to ensure we’ve considered the alternatives, inconvenient as they may be. And we’ll always be more than happy to field YOUR questions too. You might even get some answers.
